Sandy Duarte: Sound and Love Chants to Support Cancer Journey

Sandy Duarte, Author of Cancer Ramblings, Sound Curator, and Program Director at Global Sound Bath, shared a post on LinkedIn:

Sound supported me through my Cancer journey.
Deeply honored to share the growing work of one of my deepest passions – sound – through Sonic Unity and our immersive experiences for the masses.

‘Duarte began exploring sound and its therapeutic qualities after she was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer in March of 2024. While she was going through chemotherapy, Duarte bought sound bowls – bowls that emit different frequencies and soothing tones when struck.
I said,

‘It’s a gift to myself so that when I go home between my [chemotherapy] rounds, I can play,’ Duarte recalled.’And then fresh out of chemo, I started playing for different groups around the city, completely bald.’

Duarte created love chants — repeated affirmations of love — that will play throughout the evening.

‘The word love on repeat was able to get me out of [these] dark scary times on my own,’ Duarte commented.’ “
